Corsair's GALLEON 100 SD - The Ultimate Streaming Keyboard

Corsair GALLEON 100 SD Stream Deck-Integrated Mechanical Keyboard

Corsair's keyboards are entirely gaming focused, and while the GALLEON 100 SD is also designed first and foremost for gaming, its unique feature-set offers endless potential for streamers as well. Amidst its numerous bells and whistles, the built-in Elgato Stream Deck is its crowning trump card. An Elgato Stream Deck is essentially a control pad with programmable keys, each with its very own display. Although it can serve myriad purposes, such as dedicated hotkeys for gamers or shortcut keys for multi-taskers, it has found a particular niche as a workflow tool for streamers.

The Stream Deck integrated into the GALLEON 100 SD consists of twelve customizable LCD keys, a 5" 720x1280 IPS color display, and two rotary knobs with multi-layer functionality. For a streaming gamer, these shortcut keys might be used to control games, switch to Discord or Spotify, access streaming tools, tweak system functions, and more. Corsair has even conveniently pre-installed ready-to-use profiles for some of the most popular streaming games including Helldivers, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Cyberpunk 2077, ARC Raiders, Resident Evil, and more.

Your gaming skills have to be top-notch if you're going to be showcasing your talent, and this keyboard won't hold you back on that front either. The GALLEON 100 SD is a full-sized keyboard (but with the Stream Deck replacing the traditional numpad) built into a solid aluminum frame. It boasts ultra-responsive 8,000Hz hyper-polling that virtually eliminates input lag and hot-swappable Corsair MLX Pulse linear mechanical switches. Linear switches are inherently on the quieter side since they're not clicky, but Corsair ups the ante with six layers of sound dampening foam. After all, you don't want your streaming audio to be punctuated by the clickety-clack of your keys. Other features include full key (NKRO) with 100% anti-ghosting, per-key RGB LED lighting, a magnetically attached cushioned wrist rest.

IGN's Will Judd recently had the opportunity to review this keyboard and gave it high marks. He pointed out that this keyboard is essentially one of a kind; no keyboard is more ideal for streamers and macro fiends to improve workflow. If you're not the target audience, there are more economical options. But if you are, only the best will suffice.
